Is Slashdot's moderation/metamoderation, despite its superiority when compared to other sites, flawed anyway?
What kind of moderation system? How it would handle communities of different size and homogenity? Discuss.
If/how to enhace it?


We invite anyone to discuss.
* Mostly [[Traditional moderation|traditional /. moderation]], with tweaks, though.
* [[Extended moderation|Complex variants]] for very "nerdy" sities.


== Is it really about "beta"? ==
It is claimed the reason of migrating out of slashdot is the "beta". But is it really so? Let's try to do some speculations...


"Beta" is said to be made to fit tastes of the younger audience, flowing recently en masse to Slashdot - in fact, stats show, that Slashdot is currently

accesses mosltly from... schools. The same audience is, though, often scorned upon by the "low uids" as the reason of progressively "destroying the old Slashdot".
Now, we could conclude, that the deeper reason for both beta and discussion quality are really kids. But it seems, it is still not so simple.
 
Let us consider an example. So, (i) a bunch of teenagers mods ups some tired joke, or a "captain obvious", as things like that still amuse and educate them. Now, a low uid hates that.
But, despite that, (ii) the younger and the older Slashdot might still share some common interests - be it some comment insightfull for all, so a single site might make
sense. How to agree that? Would some special sort of moderation be able to please both of the discussed groups?
